A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty :

The Center for Women (CWE) Graduate Fellowship supports one advanced graduate student per academic year. The fellowship provides an opportunity for graduate students to put theory and research into practice in a very hands-on, practical way. The Fellowship is geared for those interested in mentoring undergraduate women, learning to produce academic and educational programs, and gaining skills crucial to future positions in university administration.

In addition, the Graduate School administers a Mellon Fellowship that supports Emory doctoral candidates in the humanities and social sciences at the final stages of their dissertation work to teach at Agnes Scott College, Clark Atlanta University, Dillard University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College. Fellows also participate in a yearlong professional development seminar providing invaluable professionalization, mentoring and preparation for the job market. http://www.gs.emory.edu/mellongtf

Emory's TATTO (Teaching Assistant Training and Teaching Opportunity) program is a degree requirement for all PhD students. As students are introduced to teaching in a graduated manner, teaching responsibility increases as skills grow. TATTO ensures that each student’s education as a scholar is balanced with thoughtful and thorough preparation in the art of teaching. With the help of TATTO, Emory graduates enter professional life, whether or not that includes classroom teaching, with the skills of competent and confident educators.

The President's Commission on Race and Ethnicity (PCORE) and the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) assist professional staff and junior faculty of color with career development by providing grants to help cover the costs to attend professional conferences or training. Fund awards grants to professional staff and administrators as well as non-tenured, tenure-track faculty. Applicants from racial and ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply.
